Cheap PS5 SSD deals - FAQs

What size PS5 SSD do I need?

We recommend getting a 1TB SSD in order to get the best value for money for a significant boost to your PS5 game storage. With an SSD of this size, you’ll be able to install between 15-20 major PS5 game releases, though that could be less if they are all particularly large 100 GB+ titles such asCall of Duty: Warzone,Destiny 2, orHitman 3. If your library is more varied, you’ll get dozens of smaller titles on it with no issue.

For anyone whose gaming habits are a little lighter, if you’re on a tighter budget, or you don’t mind uninstalling excess games every so often, a 500GB SSD is a reasonable choice. That’ll give you room for about 5-10 AAA games or many indie hits.

You could opt for a 2TB SSD if you really want to forget about all future PS5 storage woes for some time to come. You’re approaching the cost of the console again at this point and that seems a little ridiculous. Of course, the PS5 does support SSDs up to 4TB.

Which heatsinks are compatible with PS5 SSDs?

The majority of third-party heatsinks that match the size requirements of the SSD and the PS5’s internal storage expansion drive will work just fine. Those measurements are really the key thing to look out for as a few mm in the wrong place could mean the SSD won’t fit in your PS5.

To make things easy, we’ve listed a few compatible options that you can take your pick from below. Once you’ve got everything you need we’ll take you throughhow to install your PS5 internal SSD upgradetoo. Luckily, it’s a fairly straightforward process.
